Smyths Toys exclusives
« on: April 10, 2019, 20:25:54 »
Saw this:

Smyths Toys exclusives (link at amclicks)

I think the fairies are the most interesting, imo... Let's see Tiermann's veredict on the UNIQUENESS of the animals - the dragonling is a MUST :love:

Also like the skate one.. for SOME reason ::)  (even if the klickys all look like idiots)

The fairy one is a really nice set. The baby dragon is a new color. One of the adult unicorns has a silver instead of a gold horn. Tiersammler at Klickywelt thinks the one unicorn baby might be a new color but from these box pictures it looks like an existing one to me.

Neither of the fairies is new. Why have they got a floating bathtub?

Thanks Tiermann... Guess we need to wait for a final assessment.. If it was just the baby dragon, I wonder if we could get him from parts...

So silly. And lazy. And lame.

I'll make a guess at
30 65 1464 - Dragon, baby, 2017-style
and
30 51 8792 - Wings of baby dragon, 2017-style

If anyone orders them, please let me know the results!

(I'll add these sets to my "instructions wanted" list - not in the official repository at the moment.)

This is the first time I have come across a UK toy store with exclusive sets.  However, searching on their site, none of the sets come up, but five other different exclusive sets do:

German site: https://www.smythstoys.com/de/de-de/toys/playmobil/playmobil-country/playmobil-70166-gro%c3%9fer-reitparcours/p/174364

So to buy from a UK store I go on a German website?  Or do they only sell in Germany/Europe from the website?

It looks as if in the UK they have taken over some of he old Toys R Us stores.
